Still really pssed off this morning , more to do with the fact we don’t look sharp enough to make a play off push even though we’re far from out of it but look at Coventry , thought they were no better than us and look at them now sitting in 8th place and only 1 point off the play off places ( could and should be us !) anyway …. What they were good at and what we don’t do enough is the little basic things that give you that advantage. How many times did they knock us over off the ball and get away with it including the decisive goal ! Lost count of the times we had the ball and one of ours was on the deck being taken out the game with not even a murmur from the ref ?
Also , every time we were battling for the ball back , as soon as any sort of contact and they were throwing themselfs on the floor getting a free kick . Surely when we see other teams start these shenanigans and the ref not wanting to know then we should fight fire with fire ?
Thought they were dirty crafty bstards all night but still only 3 points above us and they won’t get away playing like that for long |  | | |  |

Teams like Coventry have turned football into a war of attrition.
If football had been played like this when I was a kid about a quarter to three, I wouldn't have spent half my life and about half a million quid watching it. |  | | |

Apologies, I Didn’t explain myself very well.
I didn’t mean Saito was naive in those incidents .
I mean, for example we don’t have an Ashley Barnes or Barry Bannon , off the top of my head , constantly in the refs ear . Constantly telling the ref what those players want him to hear . After the first challenge on Saito we should have been in the ref’s ear telling him to watch (we might have but I didn’t see us doing it ) out for what they were doing .After the second assault in the middle of the park we should have surrounded the ref . I can’t recall anyone even looking interested in talking to the referee . Might be wrong .
But that’s just an example .
Still not explaining totally what I mean .
We play a lot of teams wiser and smarter with the dark arts than we are basically .
The elbows on Lloyd and Saito in recent weeks were there for all to see , bit the peole that matter didn’t see them and went unpunished . |
Field is your man for that I would think? |  | | |

Isn't the old saying that the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results? The fact that our previous 8 corners were woeful with the same approach should have had someone pointing out to try something different by the 9th attempt. We were playing an inform team and should have settled for a good away point and kept possession down their end with a short corner. Seeing out games has been an issue at times. |
Totally agree, but with earlier attempts have someone else other than Chair or Paal to deliver the corner into the box and if that still doesn't work by the 93rd minute, OK, keep the ball by the corner flag. [Post edited 13 Feb 11:03]
